SWBA Sponsored Program: Bluegrass in Schools

SWBA is currently conducting a School Program that brings bluegrass music and instruments into the classroom, thereby introducing this uniquely American form of music to the next generation.

 

      

Since 2006, students from our school program have attended Huck Finn Jubilee. Accompanied by Eric Nordbeck, their instructor and SWBA School Program Chairperson, they have appeared before a very responsive and enthusiastic audience on the Huck Finn main stage and on the SWBA stage in the Entertainers camp area.

The SWBA School Program uses donated instruments and funds. 

Anyone who wishes to donate an instrument to the program may do so by contacting Eric Nordbeck at education@s-w-b-a.com.

form a form to mail in for contributing funds for the program.

Donation Amount 

The Southwest Bluegrass Association (SWBA) is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation, and donation may be tax deductible.  All funds contributed for the School Program go to a special bank account set up exclusively for that purpose and will not be used for any other SWBA expenses

SWBA Sponsored Campouts

Every year SWBA sponsors member campouts and jams, including the Annual SuperJam held in May, when the association members come together to hold their annual meeting, nominate board members, listen to member bands, and visit and jam.  

As many as four additional member campouts in beautiful settings  are sponsored by SWBA every year.
